Employee Health and Wellness

The mission of the UNK Employee Health and Wellness Program is to provide an organized program intended to assist employees in making positive voluntary behavior changes. Reducing health risks and enhancing individual morality will create a positive, health work environment and community.

Introducing Well Balanced -

After five years, we’re saying “so-long” to the Spark16 newsletter and making way for a new, more-dynamic wellness publication tailored exclusively for the needs of our employees.

Well Balanced is an 8-page, full-color, fully-illustrated newsletter that is science-backed, hype-free, and centered on helping readers thrive in work and life. We’re sourcing new holistic wellness content from various experts around the country to take the guess work and confusion out of wellness messaging. Month after month, you can expect to receive essential information you are interested in—at the same time we’ll be helping to create a healthier culture within our organization.

The first issue will be sent in September.
